Cinemas and Independence IV

Outdoor film festival curated by Olivier Hadouchi

Event Slider

What is the legacy, the reach and the meaning of African independences – at times gained after particularly violent and difficult struggles – for African descendants, the children of dismantled empires who live in Europe and in Africa and maintain a relationship with both continents? Even when it arises discreetly, the turmoil caused by the wars for African independence has nourished the work of artists born several decades later.


FILM

Loubia Hamra (2013)
Narimane Mari / Algeria – France / 82 min

A group of children sings, sleeps, fights and plays on the beach – and suddenly they are on the battle field. A film about the war in Algeria, experienced through the powerful and transgressive imagination of 17 children and inspired by the harshest of realities: the history of a country.
